NOVEL WEB Chapter 160
"Have you heard? Today, a big shot has come to our Inazuma."
"Big guy? How big?"
"Ten... Bah, what nonsense are you talking about! It was the people from Tianling Fengxing who took the job. I see many people went to the stock exchange to join in the fun."
"Ah? So what? Who is this gentleman who came to ask for money from our Inazuma?"
"It is said to be the Valkyrie in some game store. Haven't you been reading that novel? What is Valkyrie?"
"Damn, why didn’t you tell me earlier? I would have gone to take a look!"
"Hey, don't run!"
——
"I never thought... one day I would become a great man and a legend in people's eyes."
Kiana hugged Mei's arm and walked on the street, looking at the two Inazuma people running by, and said to Mei with emotion
"We were already legends in our original world, but I don't care, and no one cares about us either." The red eyeshadow on the outer corners of Mei's eyes is particularly conspicuous, which is obviously Lei Lu's new energy-saving mode.
"Yes, I prefer the days with everyone at St. Freya Academy... Mei, is it really okay for us to sneak out like this? Should we find someone to notify those people in the Tianling Bugyo?"
Kiana always felt weird when she said this, because she remembered that she was the one who suggested sneaking out before, and Mei was worried, but now why is it the other way around?
"I have already asked someone to inform Miss Kujo before I came. The soldiers guarding the exchange are just a cover. We are here to investigate secretly. It is better not to alert more people before we rule out the possibility of a traitor."
Mei explained, raising her hand and taking out something similar to a pocket watch, but the watch does not have a pointer, but a series of HW readings. This is a Honkai energy detection instrument.
"But I remember that Inazuma is a country ruled by God, right? And even now it is in a closed-door period, with only our exchange open to trade. How could anyone study Honkai energy and even create a Judgment-level power?"
Kiana was puzzled... No, she probably had some guesses, but there was no evidence to prove them.
Mei also shook her head when she heard this, and said,"This is the problem, so we have to investigate it. Only after we have investigated it clearly can we destroy it directly."
Facing a Judgment-level Honkai beast, she can casually say that it will be destroyed. It's really different...
Kiana raised a finger and a flame appeared on the tip of her finger, which was then extinguished by her. She looked at Mei who was hugged by her, and just smiled and shook her head:
"It must have been done by the fools."
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
"Because the Fatui are an evil organization. If there is any bad thing happening in Teyvat, it's hard to find the real culprit. It's definitely the Fatui who did it."
"Haha, this is what the captain told you again, right?" Mei said with a smile
"Yes, ship……"Kiana suddenly stopped talking halfway through, puffed up her cheeks and stopped talking, only uttered a nasal"Hmph."
"Okay, Kiana, you're not still mad at the captain, are you?" Mei poked Kiana's puffy cheeks with amusement, and she lost the air immediately.
"I……"
"Have you started to hate the Captain?"
"Of course not! How could I!" Kiana immediately retorted excitedly
"That's good, isn't it? You've been mad at the captain for a long time, right?"
"Mei, you are always so gentle……"Kiana looked at Mei, who was still smiling gently even when talking about this, and explained,"I'm just a little angry. There is a good woman like you in……"
"Hey? Good woman or something?……"Mei was stunned for a moment before she realized that she was being praised.
"Gentle and virtuous Yamato Nadeshiko"
"Okay, Kiana, stop talking about this.……"
"Beep, beep, beep!"
Mei's words were interrupted by the detector's alarm, and her expression immediately became serious:
"Kiana, the Honkai reaction has appeared again, southeast, let's go"
""Okay!" Kiana also responded seriously
……
"Kiana? This is northeast."
"Huh? Oh! Sorry Mei!"
……
"Wow... Why is it so foggy here... I can't see anything clearly." Kiana swallowed a large amount of fog as soon as she came out of the portal.
"This... should be the Tsurukan Island that the captain mentioned." Mei looked around and saw that she couldn't see anything clearly, and frowned,"It is indeed not easy to be discovered if the test site is set up in a place like this. And……"
"Besides, this place is deserted. Even if there are uncontrollable events, this is an island surrounded by the sea, so it won't have a big impact, right?" Kiana continued.
"That's right, but unfortunately, there's nothing we can do." Mei said as she handed the tester to Kiana. Kiana looked at it and saw that the reading on the dial was dropping rapidly.
"Another moment... But why? Just now, there was a reaction of a Judgment-level Honkai Beast."Kiana frowned and thought:"How is it possible to do such a thing?"
"Our previous conjecture was confirmed to be correct. This reaction spread all the way from Nata to Sumi and then to Inazuma."Mei comforted,"Kiana, don't worry, we deliberately spread the news this time to make people think that we haven't reached Inazuma yet. If nothing unexpected happens, there will be more reactions later."
"That's right... Let's chase after the remnants of Honkai energy first." Kiana felt heavy-hearted, but she agreed with Mei's words,"But I always feel that things won't be that simple."
"Yes, things are not always that simple. Collapse will magnify the malice in people's hearts until it devours them completely. But there will always be people who pursue Collapse out of foolishness because it can bring power."A strange voice came from the fog.
""Who is it?"
Kiana immediately drew her gun and pointed it at the direction of the sound. Mei was ready to strike.��
"Oh~ Don't worry, beautiful ladies." In the mist, a figure slowly walked over with his hands raised high,"I'm sorry you just guessed wrong, there won't be any more Judgment-level Honkai Beast reactions." As soon as the words fell, a blue-haired young man with a half-face mask raised his hands in surrender and appeared in the sight of Kiana and Mei.
""The Fatui." Although Kiana didn't recognize the young man, she recognized the logo on his clothes.
"Yes, Miss Kiana, and of course the beautiful Miss Mei."
The young man was about to get closer, but when he saw Kiana immediately raised her gun to signal him, he stopped with a chuckle:
"Please forgive me for bringing you here in this way, because this is the only way I can see you alone. I just want to talk to you... After all, your captain is watching you too closely."
"Stop talking nonsense. Since there is a concentration of Judgment-level Honkai energy, there must be a Judgment-level Honkai beast. Since you are already here, we can catch you and then……"
"Oh, Miss Kiana, of course you can catch me, because I don't intend to resist, as long as you listen to me." The young man gestured with his raised hands and said,"I just want to show you some truths... some truths that the island doesn't want you to know."
"You said... Captain?" Mei asked in a serious tone, her hand dropped from the hilt, but her body was still not relaxed, she asked:"Who are you?"
The young man smiled and introduced:"Ah, sorry, sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet... Maybe you should have heard of me, I am the Fatui executive officer, the second seat, the Doctor."
